Art and design have always been a constant in my life, these two words define my passion from an early age. I remember when I was a young girl, always laying down on the floor drawing. My favorite pastimes included drawing, painting, scrapbooking and making jewelry with my hands. My bedroom always looked like an arts and crafts shop, with paper and paint laying in perfect disorder on the floor.

Years later I started expressing my emotions and ideas on different surfaces, such as ceramics, guitars, shoes, canvas, etc…

Wanting to visit every museum on each city I went, I filled my sketchbook with drawings of things that caught my attention, or inspiration on the go, either in my own city, or in my travels.

This is precisely why I love to travel, because it allows me to open my mind to new ideas and rid myself of old paradigms. It allows me to get to know new places, people and inspiration from many cultures. My appreciation for art increases as I get to know new places, no matter if it is in my own town or overseas.

My sketchbook is my best travel companion, I always take it with me to paint and write every bit of inspiration. Plus I really believe amazing things happen when you put your dreams and plans to paper!

I studied Industrial Design in ITESM, and had the opportunity to study abroad in New Zealand and Italy for a year, where I learned more about myself and life than I did in the classroom. I got to meet amazing people whom I still call my friends and who taught me that there is no one right way to live, but to do what feels right for you in any given moment. I learned to be alone and to enjoy being in my own company, to get inspired not only by what I see but also by the way I feel, and this is in great part reflected on my pieces.

MY STORY

As art has always been present in my life, I wanted to bring it into our daily lives and make it part of our day, not just inside a museum or hung upon a wall. If we let it in our life, we can be inspired by it, and that is how Art On Every Surface was born, led by the mission to take it to different surfaces and let it in our day to day, in cases for our iPhones and Macbooks.

I want to spread my love for art, to express feelings, stories and ideas through textures and color. I want to provoke a personal feeling deep down in your heart whenever you see one of my pieces.

OUR PRODUCTS

Each piece is individually hand painted, it is the result of a hand crafted creative process. No two are ever the same, even if they are part of the same collection, there will always be variations present among them, and that is precisely what I love about my pieces, because each one is completely unique, just like you.

OUR BRAND

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Dare yourself. I invite you to see your life as a work of art. I hope that each decision you make, each trip you take, each opportunity is a new brush stroke that gives life to your masterpiece, from the heart, free and without fear of being wrong. Do not be afraid to give the first brushstroke on the blank canvas, remember that every masterpiece began with one first brush stroke. When we take a wrong path, remember that we can always add more brushstrokes that transform that mistake into something unique and beautiful, that marks our self and leaves us countless lessons. Paint your masterpiece with passion, where the only thing that matters is that it reflects your personality and is something that YOU love.
